After the signature has been removed, a message as the below will no longer be presented upon
module loading:
"Request for unknown module key 'Mellanox Technologies signing key:
61feb074fc7292f958419386ffdd9d5ca999e403' err -11"
However, please note that a similar message as the following will still be presented:
"my_module: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel"
This message is only presented once, upon first module boot that either has no signature or
whose key is not in the kernel key ring. Therefore, this message may go unnoticed. Once the
system is rebooted after unloading and reloading a kernel module, the message will appear.
(Note that this message cannot be eliminated.)
